Closing the Leadership Skills Gap with CLIR Coaching
In today’s fast-changing workplace, leadership is the key to thriving and staying ahead.
Leadership has never been more critical or more challenging. Organizations today are navigating rapid change, a dispersed workforce, and constant pressure to perform.
Yet many companies struggle with a leadership gap that directly impacts engagement, retention, and results.
CLIR Coaching was built to close that gap. With the Twelve Skills Cohort Coaching Program, they help organizations strengthen leaders at every level, from frontline managers to senior executives, through practical, affordable, and impactful professional development.
Why Companies Need a Smarter Approach to Leadership Development
Research shows that frontline leaders alone make up 50–60% of managers and supervise up to 80% of the workforce, yet many lack the critical skills needed to inspire teams, navigate complexity, and deliver results.
Their ability to lead effectively determines how teams perform day to day, and yet they often lack the coaching, training, and support they need.
Top skills in demand today include:
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Innovation and creativity
- Strategic thinking and decision-making
- Communication and collaboration
- Leading dynamic change
Traditional training programs often don’t stick. Leaders may sit in a classroom or complete online modules, but they rarely apply the lessons back at work.
Traditional training often falls short,too much theory, not enough application. Leaders need tools they can use immediately.
The Twelve Skills Difference
The Twelve Skills framework is grounded in research and practice, drawing from decades of leadership development work in top universities and Fortune 500 companies.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Proven Results – Twelve Skills is already trusted at Ivy League universities and by global organizations that demand lasting impact.
Micro Skill-Building Cycles – Leaders learn a skill, apply it directly to their work, and then reflect with their cohort before moving to the next cycle. Each loop is short, focused, and immediately relevant.
Cohort Coaching – Leaders develop in groups, building accountability, shared learning, and a culture of coaching that cascades across the organization.
Tailored to Your Needs – Each cohort is customized to align with your company’s goals and challenges. Leaders don’t just learn—they solve real problems for your business as they grow.
